About this work

This etching shows a man sitting in a chair. He's wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long coat with a collar. The man's hands are in his lap, and he's looking straight at us. The man's face is detailed, with wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. His hat and coat are simple, but they give a sense of his personality. The background is plain, which makes the man stand out. This portrait is a great example of Rembrandt's skill with etching. If you like this, you might also like other works by Rembrandt van Rijn.
